Nice place for a weekend getaway

Property is nice. It’s a work in progress but it is obvious that the owners put a lot of work into it. It was a hot summer weekend and the house was nice and cool. It has all basic amenities and close to some of the springs around Ocala. Overall a nice place to stay

Fabulous

We have been here many times because of the awesomeness of the owners. We always feel right at home. The quietness and the wildlife is the best. We love ridding trails. We saw lots of bears, deers, turles, quail, guineas, rabbits, and birds. It is the best place to relax and enjoy mother nature.

Great location to enjoy Ocala National Forrest

Quiet secluded location with all the comforts of home. Clean and well kept , we had no issues or concerns the host’s were excellent communicators and friendly . My daughter and husband are avid ATV trail riders so they LOVED NOT having to pack up and go to trail head . They just hoped on the atv and went . Ocala national Forrest is a wonderful place to get away and enjoy nature .

Remote get-away

Roughing it, but with an air conditioner and comfortable furnishings. A great little escape in the woods, with the Florida trail just a half mile down the road. With any luck, you can spot the gator in the pond out back or see the guinea fowl running laps in the neighbors farm yard.

Ocala fun

If you’re looking to stay at a great place near the Ocala National Forest, this place is excellent. We were able to take our SxS from the property and ride tons of national forest trails. It close to hog Waller and Salt springs. Also the renters were excellent communicators and the house was clean with a great view of the pond. Thank you Tina!! I’m sure we will be back.

If you enjoy nature and being outdoors this place is for you!

Perfect place to stay if you love fishing or trail riding. The house was like home away from home. Very comfortable and clean. Multiple boat ramps within 30 mins or less to Rodman Reservoir or Ocklawaha River and trails are by the house. We loved the seclusion and the feeling of it just being us. We watched a beautiful sunrise off the porch and sat in the living room and bird watched looking out the sliding glass doors while eating breakfast. It was a perfect way to celebrate our Anniversary. The owner had great communication and everything was already in detail so we didn't have to ask any questions. Our stay was smooth. Thank you so much for sharing your house. We will be back!

Rustic Getaway

Tina is such a gracious host! The property was as described in the middle of the National Forest. It is a perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The home was quite accommodating for all five of us. The kitchen is rather small, it is not a complaint, however, an observation. There is limited counter space so plan meals accordingly. We had hoped that the weather would've been a little cooler for late November, but the property was a lot of fun. The swing was a great addition and all three of our teenagers took turns swinging on it! One thing more, we were grateful we had a Jeep Wrangler to get to this property, if we had had a car, it would've been a challenge to get there. All in all, it was a fabulous weekend and we quite enjoyed ourselves.

Getaway from Maine winter

My husband and I spent 35 nights here. We had no ATVs and do not fish. We went for the remoteness and to experience the Ocala forest, as well as to play disc golf and get away from Maine snow. Definitely recommend a 4 wheel drive capable vehicle. It is a dirt road in and out with many many dirt side roads. If you want a getaway to ride and experience the forest and many trails this place is perfect! . We only gave it 4 stars because we found the cabin furniture uncomfortable and don't feel the property was quite ready for guests. Minor repairs are needed inside with a kitchen fan that does not turn off, a sliding screen door that doesn't close correctly, a living room fan that is very loud and is on its last leg, broken rocking chair, etc. Also, the outside entrance lighting at night was intermittent. Washer and dryer are not inside the main building. The " deck" needs cleanup and has no railing. Neighbor's dogs roam freely and were occasionally on our lot. I did mention the chair, lighting, and fan to Tina so she was aware. The lot also could use a good clean up. We lost water and Tina immediately addressed the issue as well as refunding us the two days it took to repair the well. We lost it a second time due to the unusual cold temps but that was fixed within a short time as the sun came up and warmed things. To prevent another loss of water, Jerald insulated the pipe and there were no more issues. Tina was awesome in communication and got back to us promptly with concerns. The camp was stocked with necessities. The sounds of nature at night were wonderful! You have to provide your own firewood which we didn't do so had no fires. Also, there is a bird feeder.which is fun to watch with plenty of action! We purchased one bag of food and it didn't last long! We play disc golf and visited many courses in Ocala, Gainesville, and St Augustine! Also loved the Marion County flea market in Bellevue! All of these locations are at least an hour away with Palatka and Fort McCoy closest at about 30 min. There are prescribed burnings in the area so if you are sensitive to smoke this would not be the place for you. Again,. I feel this would be great for getaways to just ride trails, hike, fish etc.

À propos de l’hîte

HÎte : Tina Arant

Image de profil de l’hîte
We are both licensed Florida real estate agents. More importantly, we love to explore new areas. When COVID locked us down to Florida only, we decided to share our love of our forest property with others.

Voici pourquoi l’hĂŽte a choisi cet hĂ©bergement

A piece of old Florida that remains in the peaceful area of the Ocala Forest. It is a nice little escape not too far from convinces but allows you to enjoy serene evenings star gazing or exploring many of central Florida’s activities.
